Hi list

Could someone familiar with early Hunter Valley place names tell me where Swan Reach is/was? I did a google search and only came up with a place on the Murray River but as I have three baptisms for the East Maitland parish of the Catholic Church were the abode is listed as Swan Reach I can only assume that the village has since changed its name. The period I am looking at is 1849-1855. Incidently I have a transcript for one of these baptisms and it states the child was born at Morpeth. Aso is/was the place Patterson close to Swan Reach during the same time frame.

Thank you for your assistance.
